Phylogeny of some species of Astragalus (Fabaceae) based on morphological data
The phylogenetic relationships among 39 species belonging to 12 sections of Astragalus from Iran were studied on the basis of 29 morphological characters. The cladistics analysis of the morphological data was performed using PAUP* 4.0b10 program. The obtained data were compared with the molecular systematics data obtained from nuclear DNA ITS. In contrast with previous molecular systematic stud...
متن کاملAre the fossil data really at odds with the molecular data? Morphological evidence for cetartiodactyla phylogeny reexamined.
The phylogenetic position of Cetacea within the mammalian tree has long been a subject of debate. The traditional paleontological view is that an extinct order of mammals, the Mesonychia, is the sister taxon to Cetacea (e.g., Van Valen, 1966; Prothero et al., 1988). This view has recently been supported by morphological studies that examined both fossil and extant material (Geisler and Luo, 199...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of Ephippidae (Actinopteri: Acanthuriformes)
The family Ephippidae consists of eight genera and 15 species. The genus Platax with five species distributed throughout Indo-Pacific, seemingly has more diversity than other genera of the family. Phylogenetic relationships among species and genera of the family, however, are not fully resolved. 48 sequences of eight species (four genera) of batfishes are available in the GenBank and have been ...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny and taxonomy of species of Cousinia section Stenocephalae (Asteraceae) in NE of Iran
In this study, the phylogeny and morphological variation of 6 species of the genus Cousinia sect. Stenocephalae, i.e., C. hypopolia, C. decipiens, C. esfandiarii, C. renominata, C. stahliana and C. daryoushiana, distributed in NE regions of Iran, were investigated. ITS, ETS and rpl32-trnL (UAG) sequences for 12 species (17 specimens) were generated. Phylogenetic interspecies relationships were ...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny and morphology of four Ramularia species from Iran along with a checklist of ramularia-like taxa
The genus Ramularia includes important plant pathogens with worldwide distribution, commonly associated with leaf spot diseases on a broad range of plant hosts. Although these fungi are common in Iran, most of the species found to date have been identified on the basis of morphological characteristics, and DNA data are available for limited number of them. During our investigation of fungi asso...
